I was with them again tonight story telling.<\/p>\n<p>I was involved in a <strong>BTO<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>gull<\/strong> <\/span>count for two hours till dusk last night. The number of <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">gulls<\/span><\/strong> going over was disappointing I only spotted 300+ birds I was expecting thousands! However, I saw plenty of other birds while there including the <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>kestrel<\/strong> <\/span>in the picture below. Also had 50+ <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>swallows<\/strong><\/span> on their way! I did manage to see our <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>osprey<\/strong><\/span> (well the one in <strong>Frampton<\/strong>) earlier in the week as well!
